Need Quality?Try Canopy and Fruit Zone Management Vermont And Need Quality? Try Canopy and Fruit Zone Management Vermont and New Hampshire Mark L. Chien Penn State Cooperative Extension Lancaster, PA [email protected] Variable vine vigor at Lincoln Peak Veraison in Marquette Viticulture Goals • Fully maturity fruit for wine making • Fully mature wood for over wintering • Get the fruit ripe as soon as possible so the vine can get the wood ripe for winter! How to get there? Kees van Leuwen has the answer… • Small berries with size set after fruit set • Shoot growth cessation just before veraison How to achieve these goals? • Control soil moisture • Limit exchangeable nitrogen in the soil Good canopy management works in ALL vineyard applications! Concept of Terroir: You have it..but can it make good wine? • Soil properties: physical, chemical and biological • Climate at the macro, meso and micro levels • Plant materials including species, varieties, clones and rootstocks • Viticulture is our input into the terroir equation and includes canopy and fruit zone management as vital components • Understand your terroir • Identify a regional NH terroir Uniformity and the Utopian Vine • Just imagine… – A vine you prune and then walk away from it • We want everything to be the same and the right size: – Leaves – small to medium size – Shoot length – 1 – 1.5m – Internode length – 60-80mm – Berry size - small – Cluster size – small for the variety, ideally loose • Strive for uniformity between vines and vineyard blocks • The enemies of uniformity: – Winter injury, diseases, tractor blight, poor viticulture, row direction, soil and mesoclimate variability, etc. What does a good canopy look like? … you know it when you see it. It is the most visually striking part of the vineyard so do it well. • It will enhance your reputation and the price of your grapes • The canopy includes: – Shoots –Fruit – Permanent vine parts – The trellis system Why are canopy and fruit zone management strategies important? • In any given year, no viticultural practices can impact the final outcome of fruit quality more: you can do it! • Enhancing the microclimate of the vine: entry of light and air into the canopy environment offers… – Lower incidence of almost all diseases by reducing humidity levels and allowing wind to dry out leaves and fruit – Allows sunlight to penetrate into the canopy interior for more efficient photosynthesis – Affects fruit zone temperature range allowing more efficient biosynthesis of essential compounds – Helps to reduce levels of methoxypyrazines in clusters Vine Size •Big vine • Medium vine •Small vine Vine Size and Balance • Balancing the vegetative and reproductive needs of a vine… – Getting the vine to do what WE want it to do, not what it wants to do • Water is the key. It affects everything • …then everything else • Size matters: Big vines and small vines and quantity and quality • Example: 1m X 1m in Bordeaux vs. 3m x 1.7m in NJ – 9 sq ft vs 45 sq ft of soil Canopy management starts before you plant the first vine… • Soil analysis for vine vigor potential: low to moderate vigor soils are the best! – Low pH, low nutrition, well-excessively well drained, lots of rock • Climate: how much rain and what is the distribution • Vine density: between rows for quantity, between vines for quality • Type of trellis system: single or divided • Selection of variety, clone and especially rootstock • Row orientation Canopies come in all shapes and sizes: each has specific requirements to make it work Single canopies: • Vertical shoot position – Head trained, cane pruned – Cordon trained, spur pruned • Goblet – head trained, cane pruned • High wire cane or cordon Divided systems: • Scott Henry or Smart-Dyson • Geneva Double Curtain • Lyre Successful Canopy Management… Begins with pruning to a balanced vine – Correct early training and superstructure development – Evenly spaced spurs or well-placed canes – No more than 2-3 buds per spur – Canes < 2 ft in length for most varieties – Short to medium internode length – Keeping the head area open – Keeping the area between cordons or canes open – Elimination of renewal spurs in cane pruning Into the growing season… • Shoot thinning at 1-3” • Shoot positioning on VSP and hanging systems at 16- 24” and again when needed • Moving wires vs. tucking shoots • Lateral removal • Leaf removal after fruit set and again at veraison if necessary • Hedging the canopy on sides and top X times per year • Timing: It all hinges on timing and availability of adequate and skilled labor. Be prepared! Understand the weather. Suckering the head for uniform shoot density The end game: when it really counts • Veraison to harvest: water matters – Just enough stress to get the vine’s attention – Too much stress is bad! • Shoot growth cessation • Small leaves • Yellowish-green color • Small berries and clusters • Uniformly ripe berries Challenging late season, cool climate viticulture at Newport Vineyards in Rhode Island. They cannot afford not to be perfect every year! Visual Indicators Growing Slowing Stopped Dead Tip Courtesy of Mark Greenspan, Advanced Viticulture Getting in the ballpark: Smart rules • 12-16 buds per pound of pruning weights • 3-5 shoots per linear foot of trellis • 0.2-0.4 lbs of pruning weight per linear foot of trellis. If over 0.45 consider dividing the canopy • 2-3 inch internode length • 15-20 leaves or 36-40” shoot length • 1-1.5 leaf layers • 80-100% exterior leaf exposure • 50-100% fruit exposure • Leaves: small basal and mid shoot, slightly dull and pale green Taming the rambunctious vine • Taking away water and nutrients: Site selection – soils • Rootstock choice • Drain tile • Cover crops • Kicker or vigor-diversion canes • Hedge multiple times • Divide the canopy – VSP to Scott Henry Fruit Zone Management: creating a microenvironment for fruit to ripen Cold climate viticulture on the Niagara Peninsula It begins before the first vine is planted… • Select the coolest possible site for a given variety to consistently fully ripen – Riesling in the Mosel – Pinot noir in Burgundy – Cabernet Sauvignon in the Medoc – ??? in southern New Jersey • All of the attributes of a good canopy will benefit the fruit zone Crop Estimation: Just Do It • Growers universally hate to do it • You need a statistically accurate sampling • You need to develop data over time • Eventually, if you are smart and good, you can wing it • Pick a system and stick to it. Same time, same person, same vines, same method, each year • Try for +/- 5% accuracy What is the right crop level? • First… ask yourself, “why am I doing this?” What is out of balance. • What is the target style of wine? What is the correct crop level to achieve it? • Consider the economics of thinning – loss of fruit vs. loss of wine quality and price • General guidelines for varieties: – Cabernet Sauvignon 3-6 t/a – Pinot Noir < 2.5 t/a – Chardonnay 3-6 t/a – Riesling 2.5-4 t/a Crop Level • Experiment with cropping trials on your vineyard, each block, within blocks • Thinning to one cluster per shoot as a starting point on red hybrids and vinifera • Crop estimate at lag phase • Thin aggressively prior to veraison, each subsequent pass has less impact on fruit ripening • Continue to thin unripe (wings, berries, clusters) and diseased fruit • Sort grapes all the way to the fermenter – sort pre/post crush Vine Density and Yield per Vine • Getting closer and closer • What is the relationship between yield and quality? • What is the fastest way to the bank? • How much is quality of site a factor? The Economics of Vine Density and Wine 8’ x 5’ (average in PA or 1m x 1m NJ) • 9 sq ft / vine • 40 sq ft/vine • 4840 vines per acre • 1089 vines per acre • Assume 2 lb/vine • @ 4 t/a > 7.5 lb/vine • 4.85 t/a • 600 gal/3000 btls of wine • @ 150 g/t > 3630 btls • @ $15/btl (good quality) • $20/btl (Ausone is 200 euro) • $45,000 wine value/ac • $72,600 wine value/ac • 5445 linear feet • 14,520 linear feet • $5445 for vines (@ $5/plant) • $25,200 for vines (@ $5/plant) Rubber Hits the Road: Post veraison vine physiology Temperature • enzymatic processes • flavor compounds • phenolic compounds Water and Nutrients • color • essential for all processes • tannins • the right amount at the right time • finding the temperature sweet spot in the fruit zone Light • photosynthesis • sugars •brix • fuel for metabolism The challenge for all viticulturists: How to get the tannin, color, alcohol and flavor curves to intersect at optimal degrees for each component before the weather runs out or other conditions force the harvest (MPs can also be considered) Examples: • California – too much heat, alcohol is out of balance, flavors deficient • Long Island - very cool, Cabernet Sauvignon often lacks full flavor profile, tannins can be harsh • Oregon – climate change has pushed ripeness until PN character is upset • Germany - cool evening temperatures retain acidity for aromatic white varieties • New Hampshire – cool and short ripening season • Cold winters • variety choice is critical – what grows vs what sells Finding the warm spots Fruit Uniformity • Uniformity and synchrony are the keys to quality. Strive for them. – Uniformity of composition/quality – Uniformity of ripeness – Uniformity in space: • Areas of the vineyard (soil and topography) • Sides of the trellis (divided canopies, especially) • Within the vine (“big vines”, especially) – Uniformity in time: Synchrony • Ripeness simultaneous throughout vineyard • Flavor and mouthfeel ripenesss simultaneous with sugar and acid ripeness Used with permission of Mark Greenspan Leaf pulling strategies • Sunlight/warmth pushes ripening, manipulate shade/exposure to create optimal environment • Morning side early season • Afternoon side prior to veraison if sunburn is not a threat (leaf removal will lower MPs) • Post veraison: more aggressive removal if rain and temperature affect ripening Too much!

  • Grapevine Leaf Blade Sampling
    Grapevine Leaf Blade Sampling Why Sample Leaf Tissue? Sampling leaf tissue at critical times of the season (bloom & veraison) is the best way to get feedback in the current season with regard to how your vines are responding to the growing conditions, your fertilization program, and seasonal fluctuations in temperature and rainfall. Unlike a soil analysis, the results of a plant tissue analysis can provide real-time input on how well vines are taking up and assimilating nutrients. Leaf analysis tells us what the vine Soil analysis tells us what mineral nutrients has taken up from the soil. are available in the soil for vines to access.

  • Bacterial Leaf Scorch of Chitalpa”
    Extension Plant Pathology “Bacterial Leaf Scorch of Chitalpa” The Heat of Summer brings on Symptoms of Bacterial Leaf Scorch Symptoms on Chitalpa. Figure 1: Flowers on healthy chitalpa trees. (Photo N. Goldberg NMSU- PDC) Chitalpa trees (a hybrid between catalpa and desert willow) are susceptible to a xylem-limited bacterium called Xylella fastidiosa (Fig 1). The bacterium invades the plant and plugs up the water conducting vessels, known as the xylem vessels, making it difficult for the plant to get enough water to the leaves. The result on the plant is symptoms of water and nutrient stress - chlorosis and leaf scorch. Other symptoms include leaf spotting, small leaves, thin canopy, branch dieback, and eventually, tree death (Fig 2, 3, 4, 5). This disease was first discovered in New Mexico in 2006. It was also confirmed in grapes the same year. In grapes, the disease is known as Pierce’s Disease. In 2010, the disease was also confirmed in catalpa and peach. The disease is transmitted from one plant to another through xylem-feeding insects, most notably sharpshooters. While New Mexico has some native sharpshooters, the most efficient vectors for Xylella, the glassy-winged sharpshooter and the smoke-tree Figure 2: Leaf scorch and spotting symptoms on chitalpa leaves. (Photos: sharpshooter (Fig. 6), are not know to occur. N. Goldberg NMSU-PDC) Figure 3: Dieback symptoms on chitalpa. (Photo N. Goldberg NMSU-PDC) Research at New Mexico State University has shown that the bacterium is nearly identical in chitalpa, grape and catalpa. This indicates transmission, probably by native sharpshooters, between these hosts.

  • Study of the Cluster Thinning Grape As a Source of Phenolic Compounds and Evaluation of Its Antioxidant Potential
    biomolecules Article Study of the Cluster Thinning Grape as a Source of Phenolic Compounds and Evaluation of Its Antioxidant Potential Yolanda Carmona-Jiménez , Miguel Palma , Dominico A. Guillén-Sánchez * and M. Valme García-Moreno * Departamento de Química Analítica, Facultad de Ciencias, Instituto Universitario de Investigación Vitivinícola y Agroalimentaria (IVAGRO), Universidad de Cádiz, Campus Universitario de Puerto Real, 11510 Puerto Real, Cádiz, Spain; [email protected] (Y.C.-J.); [email protected] (M.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (D.A.G.-S.); [email protected] (M.V.G.-M.) Abstract: Thinning is a common viticulture practice in warm climates, and it is applied to increase the quality of the harvest. Thinning clusters are usually discarded, and they are considered another oenological industry waste. To valorize this by-product, the phenolic content and antioxidant activity of three red varieties (Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah), thinned at three different times between veraison and harvest, were studied: the first at the beginning of the veraison stage, in a low ripening stage; the second in an intermediate ripening stage; and, finally, the third sampling in the highest ripening stage. These by-products showed high values of total phenolic contents (10.66–11.75 mg gallic acid equivalent/g), which is of the same order as or even higher than that found in grape pomace. In thinned grape were identified 24 phenolic compounds, being the flavan- 3-ols (catechin and epicatechin) of particular interest, with mean contents ranging from 105.1 to 516.4 mg/kg of thinned grape. Antioxidant activity similar to that of the vintage grape was found.

  • The Effect of Canopy Area on Ripening and Wine Quality (2017) Rosemont Vineyards and Winery Submitted by Justin Rose
    The Effect of Canopy Area on Ripening and Wine Quality (2017) Rosemont Vineyards and Winery Submitted by Justin Rose Summary This study examines the impact of canopy height and ripening on wine quality in Merlot. Three sets of five rows of Merlot were hedged to different heights in mid-June: 52 inches (High canopy), 44 Inches (Medium canopy, normal height), and 36 inches (Short canopy). All other vineyard treatments were identical. Not much additional shoot growth occurred after hedging. Grapes were harvested on August 25 and processed into separate T Bins. All other treatments were identical. Juice Brix was slightly higher for the short canopy compared to the higher canopy. This may have been due to a seeming resistance to rain dilution seen in the short canopy vine compared to the medium and higher canopy vines. The ethanol, TA, color, and tannin increased with decrease in canopy height, and pH decreased with canopy height. Overall, descriptive analysis had difficulty distinguishing the wines consistently. The short canopy treatment tended to have slightly more Bitterness and Overall Aromatic Intensity. The short canopy wine also exhibited some slight reduction relative to the other two wines, which may have influenced results. Fruit Intensity and Astringency tended to vary between wines between tastings. In general, the high canopy wine tended to be the most preferred. Future studies should examine how bud fruitfulness and yield are impacted by multiple vintages of heavy hedging, pick fruit at different times depending on which treatment is deemed “optimally” ripe, and hedging shoots when they reach their designated height to try to force lateral growth.

  • Leaf Removal Applied to a Sprawling Canopy to Regulate Fruit Ripening in Cabernet Sauvignon
    plants Article Leaf Removal Applied to a Sprawling Canopy to Regulate Fruit Ripening in Cabernet Sauvignon Patrick O’Brien 1, Cassandra Collins 1,2 and Roberta De Bei 1,* 1 Waite Research Institute, School of Agriculture, Food and Wine, The University of Adelaide, PMB 1, Glen Osmond, SA 5064, Australia; [email protected] (P.O.); [email protected] (C.C.) 2 ARC Industrial Transformation Training Centre for Innovative Wine Production, Waite Research Institute, PMB 1, Glen Osmond, SA 5064, Australia * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Under the effects of climate change, it is becoming increasingly common to observe excessively fast grape sugar accumulation while phenolic and flavour development are lagging behind. The aim of this research was to quantify the impacts of three different leaf removal techniques on the canopy architecture and ripening of Cabernet Sauvignon trained in a sprawl trellis system. Treatments were performed at veraison (~14 ◦Brix) and included (i) control; (ii) leaf plucking in the bunch zone; (iii) leaf plucking the top two-thirds of shoots, apical to the bunches; and (iv) shoot trimming. On the date of harvest, no significant difference in total soluble solids was observed between treatments. Other results including the effect of the treatments on fruit acidity, anthocyanins, phenolics, and tannins were somewhat inconclusive. While various other studies have shown the potential of leaf removal to achieve slower grape sugar accumulation without affecting the concentration of anthocyanins, phenolics, and tannins, the results of this study do not indicate a decrease in the rate of grape sugar accumulation as a result of the investigated defoliation techniques.
